Have you ever tried soma to sleep? I've taken it when I absolutely can't fall asleep and it works great for me. It does burn my stomach just a little, but no more than valium for me. Nothing like aspirin, which really burns.
I'll just do my own forum for fibro, I think. I'll work on it until I get bored, LOL! I do have some time between jobs right now. I just got official confirmation yday that I got the contract to work from home for 18 months for the NRC.
During the time from the 2nd week of December (when my last office was closed and all my coworkers lost their jobs with me ) and March 1st when I start the contract, I am officially "on vacation." In that time, I got an unofficial diagnosis from a doctor for fibro-- unofficial because it's not on my chart and hence not reportable as a pre-existing condition. When I get new insurance (I am uninsured, as I have no current job) I want to be treated for it, but until then, I'll go see a doctor in England when I'm there the last 2 weeks of March to get some medication and more information about the condition. That's the plan so far.
